SFP transceiver module BlueOptics 1G-SFP-LX-OM-8-BO 1250 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics 1G-SFP-LX-OM-8-BO is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module designed for 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet links with a maximum data transfer rate of 1250 Mbit/s. Housed in a compact silver SFP form factor and weighing 20 g, the module supports long-distance single-mode connectivity up to 10,000 m and uses an LC fiber connector. With an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, it is intended for stable network applications where standard SFP compatibility and predictable performance are required.

Advantages

The module combines a small SFP form factor with support for long-range links, allowing integration into switches, routers and media converters that accept SFP modules. Its LC connector and silver metal housing provide a standardized physical interface and mechanical durability. The stated MTBF indicates a design focused on continuous operation and reliability in enterprise and service provider environments.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet links over single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Replacing or upgrading SFP ports in switches and routers
• Deployment in media converters and fiber uplink interfaces
• Use in rack-mounted network equipment requiring SFP modules

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP transceiver into an available SFP slot on compatible network equipment until it latches. Connect an LC-terminated single-mode fiber cable to the module's LC connector, ensuring correct transmit/receive orientation. After physical installation, verify link status and configure the host device's interface parameters if required. Remove the module by releasing the SFP latch and gently pulling the transceiver out; protect the fiber ends and transceiver ports with dust caps when not in use.

Recommendations

Use this transceiver in environments that match the single-mode fiber specifications and maintain clean fiber connectors. Verify compatibility with your switch or router vendor's supported SFP modules and perform link tests after installation. For reliable long-term operation, avoid exposure to excessive vibration, moisture, and temperatures outside the equipment's operational range.
